Shelton Hire and Contracting Services
Shelton Hire
The full range of Shelton equipment
is available for hire with or without operator. A
minimum, three-day hire period is applicable to all
machinery. A popular method of hiring equipment is
through our partnership scheme.
Shelton provides the specialist equipment
and skilled labour and the customer provides any additional
equipment and labour. Working in this way can reduce
costs significantly over direct contracting, whilst
maintaining quality.
Shelton also hires tractors, all
under three years old, shod on wide turf tyres, with
creep speed gearboxes, ranging from 45hp to 100hp.

Golf Green Drainage
Shelton specialises in manufacturing machinery
for golf greens drainage. We undertake this work through our
hire and contracting divisions. The cost of reconstructing
a golf green to USGA specification can be prohibitive, in
the region of £25,000. Shelton have developed two machines
in their range capable of draining a golf green with minimal
disturbance, at a fraction of the rebuilding cost. This work
is causes minimal disturbance enabling play to resume almost
immediately.
The first of these is the single leg Shelton
gravel band drainer. The machine installs 25mm wide bands
of gravel or Lytag at depths from 100mm to 350mm. Ground conditions
must be moist for the machine to work effectively, so this
work is carried out during the winter months. Work rates are
in the region of 11/2 average sized greens per day using 2-3
men.
The second machine we use is Shelton System
25™.
25mm wide bands of Lytag or gravel are installed from 200mm
to 400mm deep using a wheeled trencher coupled to a vibrating
backfilling hopper. Ground conditions must be dry or slightly
moist for this machine to operate efficiently.
Working on a partnership basis an average
sized green can be drained from as little as £650.00
+ VAT.

projects are available on request.
